It's All Perspective Friday-None of Us Live in the Same World

Nothing real can be threatened, nothing real exists (A Course in Miracles)

The perceptions that we live in the same world is an illusion. One always assumes that everyone perceives the world in the same way, but how can this be true. The Christians see a world built by Jehovah, the Hindu's see a world created by Lord Brahma, and other religions have different creator deities, then how can it be that we live in the same world. It is even more complex than that, since we all create our own perception of the world.

I wrote earlier about some perceptions of death, and each of use creates our perception based on how we perceive the circumstances surrounding us. There will be as many worlds as there are beings perceiving it. This is how calamity can be created. When others can create a similar perception of something, and they think that others must surely perceive it the same way, spells disaster. I don't like to point out to those folks just how widely different the perceptions of the same belief is between those who "believe" can be. However, that is true. I experimented a lot with this for some time. questioning people that were holding with specific beliefs, and they had vastly varying perceptions of what they believe we a fixed set of rules, beliefs, and/or scientific "facts".

The world you live in is deeply your own creation. The ego reacts to all sorts of impetus, and it's protection mode sounds solid to our minds. However, when you question these beliefs, you find that they are thin like air. They are easily blown away by another perception that seems similar. Look how often the medical world will overturn solid medical practices when new "evidence" is presented that refutes long held beliefs. This will always continue to happen to us as long as we ignore our inner wisdom, and cling to ego belief systems.

Nothing real can be threatened; nothing real exists. (A Course In Miracles)  When we give ego the lead, the world is ALL our individual perception, and none of us live in the same world. We cannot come together until we recognize that everyone here was created by God extending his love to create us.  We are all created from the same source, and showered with the complete, unconditional love of our creator. He loves us regardless of our current perception of our existence.

Anja—Brow Chakra Meditation

Visualizations used in this meditation explained.  You will need to know the definition and location of the Sushumna (Sukshumna) nadi, which closely correlates with the spinal cord.  The website listed below has several articles on the sushumna nadi.  However, all the articles give more information than is really required for this meditation, but it is always good to understand what the Nadis are.  You also need to understand what a vortex is.

Sushumna Nadi

A vortex is similar to the action that you find when you drain the water from the bathtub.  It moves in a circular motion and is shaped like a cone.  A vortex draws things down into it.  The chakra vortex draws energy from things from the outside such as people, animals, plants and the universe.  Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to suck the life out of you?  Well this is how the energy is being drawn away from you.  So when visualizing this vortex, the action is one of a vortex like the water, with the large end exiting your forehead, and the small end connected into the sushumna (spinal cord).

Intuition Building

As with any type of meditation try to perform this meditation when you won’t be disturbed.  Turn the phone off or down, make sure the children are occupied or in bed.  Find a comfortable position either sitting in lotus position, lying on the floor or bed, or in a reclining chair.  Play soft soothing music.  Use the aroma therapy recommendations for this chakra, or burn incense of the appropriate variety to match the aroma therapy recommendations.

Begin relaxation by tensing each muscle group, starting with the feet, then the calf of the leg, moving up to the head.  Relaxing, releasing each muscle goup completely.  Feel it relax into the surface that it is touching.  

Visualize the two wing symbol of this chakra.  See the indigo color.  Visualize this chakra in the middle of your forehead in the area of the third-eye…………..  Feel the color slowly spread and fill the chakra……..  Feel the vortex of the chakra fill with the color as it spins steadily.  Feel the indigo color completely fill your head, and connect with sushumna…  Feel the violet from the crown chakra flow down the sushumna, and the blue from the throat chakra rise up to meet in the indigo of the third-eye………  Feel the pulsing of the chakra as it spins………..

Know that the third-eye chakra is there for vision the same as your other two eyes.  The difference is that this eye looks inward.  This is the source of your intuition, you inner knowing.  This is a method of connection with that which is eternal in you. This is your connection to your higher self.  You use it to look deep inside yourself for the answers that are surely there.  It is there to offer insight, clairvoyance, and answers to the questions of the universe.

Do this or other meditation regularly.  Keep the third-eye sharp as an eagle’s eye.
